What if faith isn't about controlling the year ahead—but learning how to move with the waves? In this New Year message from Avenue Community Churches, we're invited into Psalm 40 and into the honest, rhythmic life of David: a life where praise and pain, gratitude and desperation, trust and waiting all exist at the same time. This episode refuses the tidy version of spirituality and instead offers something far more real—a faith that learns how to stand when the ground is shifting. Through vivid storytelling, humor, and pastoral honesty, Pastor Tim explores what it means to not fight the waves of life, but to develop the instincts, balance, and trust needed to ride them. From the mud and the mire to a new song rising again, David's story reminds us that God is not only a Savior for eternity, but a present rescuer—one who hears every cry, remembers every tear, and delights in lifting His people again and again. This episode speaks to: The exhaustion of waiting—and the hope hidden inside it The courage to trust God when life feels chaotic or unresolved A faith that remembers past rescue while clinging to future hope Why obedience and surrender matter more than religious performance How our stories of deliverance are never just about us If you're stepping into a new year feeling grateful and overwhelmed… faithful and unsure… hopeful and tired—this message is for you. You don't have to dictate the year ahead. You're invited to trust the One who holds the tides.
Pastor Tim starts 2026 with a challenge to pray big prayers to a big God who listens, cares and answers prayers. He does so by unpacking 2 Kings 19:14-19.

In this opening message of the Unstoppable series, Pastor Tim Dunn launches a journey through the book of Acts by focusing on the promise of power given to the early church. Acts reminds us who the church truly is—not defined by culture, influence, or branding, but formed by the risen Christ and empowered by the Holy Spirit. This sermon explores Acts 1:1–11, where Jesus calls His followers to wait for the Holy Spirit before stepping into their mission as witnesses to the ends of the earth. Pastor Tim unpacks the role of the Spirit in empowering courage, unity, and faithful witness in a complex and often resistant world. Acts shows us that God's work continues not through human effort alone, but through divine empowerment.
Pastor Tim delivers a powerful message about spiritual growth and flourishing in Christ for the new year. Using the imagery of palm trees and cedars of Lebanon from Psalm 92, he illustrates what the life of a righteous believer should look like—resilient, deeply rooted, fruitful, and victorious. The sermon emphasizes that growth happens when believers not only agree with God's Word in faith but also take action through discipleship. Pastor Johnson challenges the congregation to look beyond their current circumstances to see God's intended picture for their lives. He explains how Christ's righteousness makes believers rot-resistant like cedars, able to isolate wounds and heal through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. The message culminates with a practical six-month discipleship plan for the church, moving from theory to application, encouraging believers to engage, establish, equip, and empower others as they make disciples who make disciples.

Whether you're setting resolutions or seeking divine purpose, this message inspires you to embrace heavenly values, pursue discipline as disciples, and live abundantly in 2026 through Christ's power.CONNECT WITH US:→ Request Prayer: https://bit.ly/3zMyf5E→ Request Care: https://bit.ly/3fBTX5G→ Share a Testimony: https://bit.ly/3Jo7Ped→ Find Events and More: https://bit.ly/3TcrkcR→ Leave us a Review on Google: https://bit.ly/47925jP→ Plan a Visit in Person: https://bit.ly/3sfQdg7FOLLOW US:→ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/illuminatec...→ Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@illuminate_ch...→ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/illuminatech...WE HELP PEOPLE FIND ABUNDANT LIFE IN JESUS!

This sermon explores the transformative power of encountering Jesus through the story of the lame beggar healed at the Beautiful Gate in Acts 3. Pastor Tim emphasizes that celebrated joy is not merely a momentary emotion but a lifestyle that flows from encountering the risen Christ and receiving the Holy Spirit. The message challenges believers to move beyond their limited expectations and trust issues, allowing the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead to work through them. Through personal testimonies of financial provision, family reconciliation, and spiritual breakthrough, the sermon demonstrates how obedience to God and faith in His power leads to new life. The central theme is that when we encounter Jesus, our expectations change, we learn to trust again, we obey truth, and our lives become examples of celebrated joy that draw others to Christ.

This sermon from Pastor Tim reminds us that true joy is not based on circumstances but is a lasting work God grows in us as we choose contentment and follow Jesus daily. Jesus invites us to walk with Him, learn from Him, and become like Him by loving others deeply, showing kindness, offering forgiveness, and extending grace even to those who hurt us. As we are comforted by God, we are called to serve the world, make disciples, and live out our faith with purpose, compassion, and generosity.
This week, Pastor Tim continues our teaching series through Matthew, chapter 3. Our walk with God isn't about recognition—it's about pointing others to Jesus. Let's start the New Year with this perspective together.

If you're longing for calm in a chaotic world, this message will help you experience the deep, steady peace found in the presence of Jesus.
